Role of Glycogen Metabolism in <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> Virulence

2024-04-15

Abstract excerpt

Glycogen plays a vital role as an energy reserve in various bacterial and fungal species. Clostridioides difficile possesses a glycogen metabolism operon that contains genes for both glycogen synthesis and utilization. In our investigation, we focused on understanding the significance of glycogen metabolism in the physiology and pathogenesis of C. difficile . To explore this, we engineered a C. difficile JIR809...
